Hughes sentenced Correa to a 46-month-term of imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In handing down the sentence, Judge Hughes noted the seriousness of the crime and how other baseball teams now must have tighter and more intrusive security, according to federal officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cYou have made it harder for them to live their lives,\u201d Hughes noted. \u00a0Correa apologized and attempted to call his behavior reckless, but the judge corrected

sentencing recommendation as it was based upon our evaluation of the seriousness of the crime and the actions of the defendant,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Magidson. \u00a0\u201cI am proud of the investigators and the federal prosecutor assigned the case who worked diligently to ferret out all the facts. \u00a0Today, justice was done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From 2009 to July 2015, Correa was employed by the St. Louis Cardinals and became the director of Baseball Development in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In this role, he provided analytical support to all areas of the Cardinals\u2019 baseball operations. \u00a0Correa is no longer employed by the Cardinals organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Astros and the Cardinals, like many teams, measured and analyzed in-game activities to look for advantages that may not have been apparent to their competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To assist their efforts, the Astros operated a private online database called Ground Control to house a wide variety of confidential data, including scouting reports, statistics and contract information. \u00a0The Astros also provided e-mail accounts to their employees. \u00a0Ground Control and Astros e mails could be accessed online via password-protected accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As part of his plea agreement, Correa admitted that from March 2013 through at least March 2014, he illicitly accessed the Ground Control and\/or e-mail accounts of others in order to gain access to Astros proprietary information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In one instance, Correa was able to obtain an Astros employee\u2019s password because that employee has previously been employed by the Cardinals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When he left the Cardinals organization, the employee had to turn over his Cardinals-owned laptop to Correa \u2013 along with the laptop\u2019s password.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Having that information, Correa was able to access the now-Astros employee\u2019s Ground Control and e-mail accounts using a variation of the password he used while with the Cardinals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The plea agreement details a selection of instances in which Correa unlawfully accessed the Astros\u2019 computers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example, during 2013, he was able to access scout rankings of every player eligible for the draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He also viewed, among other things, an Astros weekly digest page which described the performance and injuries of prospects who the Astros were considering and a regional scout\u2019s estimates of prospects\u2019 peak rise and the bonus he proposed be offered, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He also viewed the team\u2019s scouting crosscheck page, which listed prospects seen by higher level scouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">During the June 2013 amateur draft, he intruded into that account again and viewed information on players who had not yet been drafted as well as several players drafted by the Astros and other teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Correa later intruded into that account during the July 31, 2013, trade deadline and viewed notes of Astros\u2019 trade discussions with other teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another set of intrusions occurred in March 2014. \u00a0The Astros reacted by implementing security precautions to include the actual Ground Control website address (URL) and required all users to change their passwords to more complex passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The team also reset all Ground Control passwords to a more complex default password and quickly e-mailed the new default password and the new URL to all Ground Control users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shortly thereafter, Correa illegally accessed the aforementioned person\u2019s e mail account and found the e mails that contained Ground Control\u2019s new URL and the newly-reset password for all users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A few minutes later, Correa used this information to access another person\u2019s Ground Control account without authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There, he viewed a total of 118 webpages including lists ranking the players whom Astros scouts desired in the upcoming draft, summaries of scouting evaluations and summaries of college players identified by the Astros\u2019 analytics department as top performers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On two more occasions, he again illicitly accessed that account and viewed confidential information such as projects the analytics department was researching, notes of Astros\u2019 trade discussions with other Major League Baseball teams and reports of players in the Astros\u2019 system and their development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The parties agreed that Correa masked his identity, his location and the type of device that he used, and that the total intended loss for all of the intrusions is approximately $1.7 million, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">No other personnel associated with the Cardinals organization have been charged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The FBI conducted the investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former director of Baseball
